*WILD AND FREE *
To spend an hour with Mountain Gorillas is one of the best wildlife experiences you can ever hope for. They captivate you with their eyes and you become lost in the moment. Your time with them goes so fast you are left just wanting more…
Unfortunately, Mountain Gorilla numbers are small, with only approximately 700 left in the wild. The primary threat comes from forest clearance and degradation, as the region’s growing human population struggles to eke out a living.
I am hopeful ways can be found to control these problems before it is too late.

What a sweet face!
Fantastic capture!
Wow Steve – everything I expected, and more. A superb image, just superb. What an expression you have caught on this one. As your description tells, it is very sad that the numbers of these wonderful animals had dropped to such a low level. Unfortunately, as you say, the human population struggle to survive as well, and its so easy for people to just say dont do it when families struggle for an existence. Alternative livelihoods must be brought to play if anything is to be done to save these magnificent creatures.
Beautiful Stevie! Very well captured.
